DICT Region IV: Now an accredited Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Provider

By: Mary Rose Cortez

In 2021, it was a remarkable accomplishment for the region to have been accredited by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) as a CPD provider for both licensed professional teachers and electronics engineers, but this year, another profession has been added to our list. We have received the accreditation as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) provider for Certified Public Accountants (CPA). The department’s offered free training courses will be of great assistance to these professionals during the renewal of their PRC licenses since CPD unit is a mandatory requirement.

DICT Region IV-A's CPD program covers a wide range of topics related to information and communications technology, such as cybersecurity, data privacy, cloud computing, and emerging technologies. The courses are designed to cater to the needs of different professionals, from entry-level to senior-level positions.

The DICT Region IV-A CPD program has been well-received by professionals in the region. It has been praised for its relevance to the current trends in the industry and for the quality of the courses. The program has also been commended on being offered for free, making it accessible to professionals from different backgrounds.

The Department of Information and Communications Technology Region IV-A will continue to work together with our partner stakeholders in sharing knowledge, skills and expertise through our projects, activities and programs related to Information and Communications Technology (ICT).
